Vernal Equinox 2012

And yet again another holiday catches me more or less off guard. I've been living a nomads life most of this month, spending more time at Wolfe's apartment, some overnight shifts at work, and a night or two in my own bed. Actually I think I've only spent one night in my own bed this month so far. All this running around between two jobs, which between the two add up to over 40 hours per week, packing, unpacking, and repacking has really made the days just blur together. I've never been very good with holiday calenders of any shape or variety, days get away from me, and some weeks feel like months and sometimes only like a day or two. This is why I like to write things down, (especially my work schedule) and I do have a festival calendar written down but it's on Groove at home, which was a silly place to put it as I never really look at Groove even when I have plenty of time at home.

It was 80 degrees today not really very spring like but our winter was blessedly mild, or nonexistent if you compare it to what parts of Europe got hit with. Today I had hoped, and still do, to spend some time to honor Tellus Mater and Sol Indiges, when I get out of my second shift of the day, in the presence of their physical manifestations. Nothing compares to the feeling of cool grass or earth beneath my feet and the warmth of the sun on my skin when it comes to honoring and celebrating the wonders of the two pillars of the natural world. The moon and the night are equally magical and wondrous but without the bounty of the earth and the sun who makes life and growth possible we would not be here.
